New York City, March 8, 2022

ActiveNav, a leading data privacy and governance software provider, is pleased to debut its hybrid-cloud Inventory™ solution at Legalweek 2022 to enable Privacy and Compliance teams to quickly identify toxic sensitive data hotspots and prioritize their minimization efforts. Developed with the goal of achieving Zero Dark Data™ across all types of repositories, ActiveNav’s Inventory™ discovers and maps user-generated data in minutes for compliance with a range of privacy regulations, including GDPR, CPRA and others.

“A comprehensive data inventory is a fundamental component of many legal and compliance routines. Knowing where data and systems exist has typically been identified by humans, but today, technology is being used to support human knowledge that tends to have natural flaws,” said Eric Derk, Managing Director of Forensics at Ernst and Young, LLP. “Besides the wasted time spent creating and maintaining manual, static inventories, there is a high cost of human resources and risk of error associated with this approach. Siloed methods do not provide holistic views of an entire data universe, and unknowingly put organizations at risk, resulting in a false sense of security that leaves organizations vulnerable to the exposure of sensitive data.”

ActiveNav’s Inventory™ rearchitects data discovery, transforming it from a cumbersome, episodic chore to a persistent, always-on approach that monitors the compliance risk posture of any enterprise. Inventory™ solves preparedness issues by mapping vulnerable hotspots of sensitive data and generating toxicity heat maps using customizable scoring.

Inventory™ enables organizations to:

• Discover, score and monitor user-generated data across commonly used applications like Microsoft SharePoint and Teams, as well as email, workplace collaboration platforms and on-premise file shares.
• Assess their compliance risk profile using customizable, prebuilt rules to prioritize and highlight “toxicity hotspots” in their data universe via a single pane of glass.
• Apply AI to allow teams to maintain an accurate, holistic view of their data risk profile.
• Leverage the Microsoft Azure SaaS stack for industry-leading security, performance and scalability.

New Privacy Laws and Lack of Preparedness Create Urgency

The passage of newly enacted privacy laws in California, Colorado and Virginia has exacerbated the need to take a more automated, persistent approach to managing sensitive data in user-generated content systems such as Microsoft Teams and Slack. In today’s compliance landscape, Privacy and Compliance departments know they must be prepared to act quickly, putting sensitive data visibility at the top of the priority list.

Results from a recent Osterman Research survey corroborate this new sense of urgency. This recent study found that almost “90% of respondents say discovering sensitive data is a high or medium priority in their organization.” Organizations in three industries—healthcare/pharma, technology, and financial services—were more likely to say discovering sensitive data was a high priority.

“Historical sensitive data discovery efforts have failed and are in need of a major reboot,” said Peter Baumann, CEO and Founder of ActiveNav. “Privacy and Compliance teams are fooling themselves into believing they have the right solutions for discovering sensitive data, but they often don’t know what data they should be protecting and how they should protect it. Inventory™ shines a light on the problem in an automated, persistent way that originates from our decades worth of work helping the largest enterprises monitor and manage sensitive data.”

New York and Barcelona — 8 March, 2022: Onna, the knowledge discovery leader, today announced the availability of Onna eDiscovery In-place Preservation. Through a single action from within Onna, the In-place Preservation feature deploys data preservation in real-time across content, communication, and collaboration applications, helping legal teams improve the efficiency and reduce the risk of the legal hold process. 

While Onna eDiscovery customers have always been able to preserve their data within Onna’s centralized and search-ready archive, In-place Preservation offers customers the additional choice to preserve data within the source application. 

In today’s remote working world, placing and managing in-app legal holds and preservations has become an increasingly complex challenge, often involving many custodians and a variety of file types stored across multiple cloud applications. Having to apply and manage legal holds separately across numerous applications requires more time, which puts data at risk of being deleted or changed during the process. It also increases the likelihood that key custodians are placed on hold incorrectly or missed entirely. Failing to adequately preserve data can result in substantial consequences, from financial penalties to negative inference, which can adversely impact case outcomes. 

Onna eDiscovery In-place Preservation simplifies and reduces risk in the legal hold process by allowing IT or legal departments to simply upload a list of targeted custodians into Onna eDiscovery, select their applications, and execute preservations across each of those applications in a single action. Key benefits include:

• Efficiency: Reduce manual work and save time by unifying the legal hold and preservation process for all applications and targeted custodians into a single step 
• Real-time holds: Placing holds in real time gives legal teams time to validate which custodians are relevant to their case prior to a collection 
• Centralized management: Preserve data once and manage holds easily from a centralized location
• Expedited downstream collections: Users have peace of mind knowing that subsequent collections will be efficient and defensible –– once In-place Preservation is completed, users will be able to search, cull, and export the resulting data set to their review tool for further analysis 

“Two of the biggest concerns attorneys have with using technology to preserve targeted data is the lack of consistency in the execution of preservation across all applications, and the lack of trust that all data has been adequately preserved within those applications,” said Jose Lazares, Chief Product Officer at Onna. “By enabling data preservation both in Onna and in source systems with a single click, we are providing that consistency and enabling a legal hold process that attorneys can trust. “

Onna eDiscovery In-place Preservation will support Slack and Google Vault preservation tasks to start, with Microsoft Office 365 and Box soon to follow.
